Track Name: Hey! Come Out and Play
Hey! Come Out and Play

Hey! Come out and play
Hey!
It’s a beautiful day
Come out and play
Hey!

The sun is shining
The birds are singing in the trees
When I step outside
My neighbor says hello to me
I’m walking to your house
To see if you can come out
I’ll ring the doorbell when I arrive
And say

Hey! Come out and play
Hey!
It’s a beautiful day
Come out and play
Hey!

So grab a few of your trucks
We can put them in my pack
My mom can drive the car
To get us there and back
We’re going to the park
Roll the windows down in the car and

Hey! We’re on our way
Hey!
It’s a beautiful day
We’re on our way
Hey!

I like playing with my friends
In the afternoons and on weekends
Yellow sun and big blue sky
It’s a beautiful day to play together
You and I

Hey! (2x)

Hey! I like to play
Hey!
It’s a beautiful day
I like to play
Hey!
I like to play with you
Track Name: Mail is Great
Mail is Great

I had something I wanted to tell you
But you weren’t at school today
That’s okay – I’ll write it down
And mail it to you

I drew a picture I wanted to show you
It’s you and me and we’re at the park
Your mom said that you were sick in bed
That’s okay – I’ll mail it to you

I put your name on the first line
And then the numbers of your house
And under that, the name of our town
My name’s in the corner
So you know that it’s from me
I put a stamp so the mailman knows
It’s ready for delivery

Doo doo doo…

You missed school the next day
‘Cause you still weren’t feeling well
We made a card for you
It said, “Hope you get well soon”
And we all signed our names

And we put your name on the first line
And then numbers of your house
And under that, the name of our town
My name’s in the corner
Because the card was my idea
We put a stamp so the mailman knows
It’s ready for delivery

You were back in school on Wednesday
And you said you got our card
And the other one I sent
You told me you had read it
And your promised all of us that you’d write back
We all agreed – we’re looking forward to that

So put our name on the first line
And then the numbers of our house
And under that, the name of our town
Your name will be in the corner
So we know that it’s from you
Put a stamp and seal it up
The mailman knows what to do

Doo doo doo…
The mailman knows what to do
Doo doo doo….
With the cards he gets from you
Doo doo doo…
The mailman knows what to do
Track Name: Night Vision Lullaby
Night Vision Lullaby

After you have brushed your teeth
And you’ve put your PJs on
Go and climb into your bed
And I will sing you a song

With a flashlight in my face
Like a pretend microphone
You can sing with me in case
I forget how it’s supposed to go

When we finish I will turn the lights off
At first it will seem like I’ve disappeared
But I’ll stay until your eyes adjust
And you see that I’m still here

Go to sleep
I know you’re tired
Just think of all you did today
Go to sleep
I know you’re tired
I will sit and stay
With you in the dark
